 LinuxDevCenter.com -- Growing with Gentoo
When Daniel Robbins recently spoke to 30 or so students and professors at Stanford's Computer Systems Lab, he didn't have to waste much time explaining what his baby, Gentoo Linux, was.
Robbins was working as a system administrator for the School of Medicine at the University of New Mexico when he first started playing around with Linux.
Robbins wants to stop this, and emphasizes that if Gentoo users have a problem, reporting bugs upstream to the software's original author is the wrong place to start, and that they should let the Gentoo development team know first.

 GLEP 22 -- New "keyword" system to incorporate various userlands/kernels/archs
This version was approved on 14-Jun-2004, with the amendment that cascading profiles should be used.
This GLEP originated from the concerns that Daniel Robbins had with the x86obsd keyword, and his desire to make the KEYWORDS variable more "feature-rich".
Drobbins' original idea was that we should allow compound keywords such as gnu/x86, gnu/ppc, and macos/ppc (which would be explicit versions of the more familiar x86, ppc, and macos keywords).

 Plok » Gentoo’s Daniel Robbins going to Redmond   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
I had the luck of working with him in my Gentoo days, do fun stuff like organizing a Gentoo booth here in my country for the open-source event Fosdem, and even going out with him and drinking a beer in my home town Ghent.
All those times, Daniel seemed a very integer person to me. Someone capable of thinking out of the normal pattern, probably just like when he had the initial idea to create a new package management system called portage.
So I wish Daniel a whole lot of success in the new direction he has taken his (professional) life to, he’s a hell of a developer and a nice person to hang out with

I'll now be known by the title of Distribution Architect, and can display it proudly knowing that it survived peer review :) My LinkedIn profile has been updated to reflect these changes.
